[ jEdit-users ] Re: Beanshell Search Snippet predef variable value question

[Rudi W. <Rud...@we...>]

Hello,
in class ...search.RESearchMatcher you find following code:

 public String substitute(String text) throws Exception
 {
  REMatch match = re.getMatch(text);
  if(match == null)
   return null;

  if(beanshell)
  {
   int count = re.getNumSubs();
   for(int i = 0; i <= count; i++)
    replaceNS.setVariable("_" + i,match.toString(i));

   Object obj = BeanShell.runCachedBlock(replaceMethod,
    null,replaceNS);
   if(obj == null)
    return "";
   else
    return obj.toString();
  }
  else
   return match.substituteInto(replace);
 } //}}}

The variables _1, _2 ... are derived from "match.toString(i)".
Actually, there is no interface to access these values from outside, so if you need
this you have to adapt/extend RESearchMatcher on your own.
If you like, I can provide such a function in the XSearch-plugin on which I'm
currently working.
Regards
Rudi
